Religious rants

Yaasshat you have honestly provided nothing to the conversation but passive aggressiveness lol you dont even read the articles my guy. You cant even debate me on this stuff cuz you dont even know what os being said

But just being honest here if you dont believe, you dont believe. Im mainly trying to provide substance to my arguments at this point. Idk if i will accomplish anything on this site cuz its probably preaching to the wrong crowd. People on here want anime tiddy not Jesus christ. But incase anyone is curious its here.

Ok, my guy. You have your direction and that's cool. Word of advice, you have literally nothing to prove. Think about that and understand what I've been trying to tell you and understand, I'm not offended by Christianity nor Christians. Peace or some such bullshit.

Here's where I stand just to make my beliefs clear I like the values Christianity provides and I think converting people to your religion is a reasonable thing to do since it usually comes from a good place. What I don't like is the fear mongering and "one true religion" mentality since i feel that lessens the values of Christianity and growing up with it I know how it affects people including how it has affected me which is why I might come across as aggressive when it comes to that kind of thing. It's okay to believe your religion is the real one but you shouldn't be actively trying to disprove others aren't real or prove that yours is the real one since that's just going to cause unnecessary and unresolvable conflict. Instead of fear mongering I liked it better when my church would convert people by just showing the good points of Christianity or when they would get together as a community and help each other out that kind of thing was why it took me so long to accept i didn't believe in Christianity because I like some of the values and the community looks out for each other but for me personally it was just difficult to ignore all the faults i have previously mentioned i experienced within the religion the experience that hurt me the most wasn't even that bad but pretty much started shattering my belief in Christianity which was that the church lied to me it wasn't a big lie it was a pretty stupid and minor lie about how pokemon names had satanic meanings in Japanese like Pikachu meaning "stronger than God" which is why he was so popular or Charmander was "son of Satan" which is why he was on fire when I learned that was a lie i felt betrayed since they were always high and mighty about how lying is a sin and you'll go to hell for doing it and i also just couldn't figure out why they would lie about something like that especially when there's Christian references in one of the dubbed Pokemon seasons

Believe it or not, I actually agree with a good chunk of the values, too. But, I do believe some of it is just common decency. Pikachu.... Is from the animal, pika. It's a cute little mousy thing, too.

I only figured out they had lied to me when I was like 9 cause i searched up pokemon name meanings on YouTube on my aunt's phone

Yeah some people are over the top with it. I remember seeing how hello kitty was made by a family whose daughter was sick or something and they made a deal with the devil to create a popular character to make her not be sick. It could be true, but it could also be not true. I want people to know the religion isnt just sunshine and rainbows. Im not gonna sugar coat it becauss no one knows what the end times will look like many say the rapture happens before or after God unleashes his wrath. We just dont know i dont want people to be waek in their faith when the time comes. When Christians are persecuted and tortured and put to death how many you think will side with satan? Often times i think if they were to put me in tthe blazing bull where i would be cooked alive, unable to sit, stand or lie down without being burned while i slowly get cooked alive what would i do? How wouldbsomeone who isnt me react if they saw thats what awaited them for being Christian. Thats why this "fear mongering" is something that needs to happen. It wont always be good times.

I dont agree with the notion that you should preach repentance and that means ur saved. No you must believe strictly and reject all other ideas that dont align with what God asks of you. Worst case scenario for a nonbeliever is you lived ur life as a good Christian and God doesnt exist. I dont see any negative drawbacks from following the faith properly. But we csnt say its always gonna be good when the bible tells us it isnt.

Yeah i remember the hello kitty story too and fear mongering and talking about the rapture i feel are two different things the fear mongering I'm taking about is the "do exactly as our religion and only our religion says to the exact letter and don't look towards any outside sources like pop culture or science or else you'll go to hell" i know now that they only did that because those were things they had no control over and therefore were losing followers due to pop culture and science but talking about the end times was actually pretty interesting to me as a kid learning the stories and prophecies about Christianity is still something I'm interested in and I like to learn about other religions and mythologies due to my original interest in Christianity
